I base my therapy sessions on a holistic integration of approaches. Built on person centred foundations, these approaches may also include use of behavioural (e.g. CBT), psychodynamic and Gestalt technique.
During your first introductory session you will have the opportunity to talk of what has brought you to counselling. This first session will also be an opportunity for you to decide whether I am a suitable counsellor for you.Qualifications & Training
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold a BACP accredited Diploma in Integrative Counselling from LIFE-FORCE, Colchester.Experience
Prior to working in private practice, I was a volunteer counsellor for the Community Alcohol Team in Barking.
Clients have been helped with issues such as bereavement, anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, social phobia, low self esteem, anger management, paranoid feelings, self harm, family disputes, relationship issues and more.
Feedback from clients has included comments such as:
"I did not know what to expect from counselling but I have found it incredibly useful. Thankyou"
"I have spoken to others before but this is the first time I am really feeling heard"
"I had read so many books on psychology but it was not until I came here and spoke with you that I have seen exactly what the problem is"
"I am feeling as if a heavy weight is being lifted from me"
"I am able to feel so much more relaxed now and feel able to be me"Fees
